9. Direct Rollover of Eligible Rollover Distributions (Plan Section 7.8)

 

Modification of definition of “Eligible Retirement Plan.” Effective with Plan distributions made after December 31, 2001, for purposes of the direct rollover provision in Plan Section 7.8, an Eligible Retirement Plan shall also mean an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code and an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. The definition of Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code.

 

Modification of definition of “Eligible Rollover Distribution” to exclude hardship distributions. For purposes of the direct rollover provision in Section 7.8 of the Plan, any amount that is distributed on account of hardship shall not be an Eligible Rollover Distribution and the distributee may not elect to have any portion of such a distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan.

 

Modification of definition of “Eligible Rollover Distribution” to include post-tax contributions (if any). For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in Section 7.8 of the Plan, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an Eligible Rollover Distribution merely because the portion consists of post-tax contributions, if any, which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or Section 408(b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Section 401 (a) or Section 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.

 

10. Modification of Top-Heavy Plan Provisions (Article XII)

 

This Section shall apply for purposes of determining whether the Plan is a top-heavy plan under Section 416(g) of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001, and whether the Plan satisfies the minimum benefits requirements of Section 416(c) of the Code for such years. This Section amends Article XII of the Plan.

 

Determination of top-heavy status

 

Key Employee. Key Employee means any Employee or former Employee (including any deceased Employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date was an officer of the Employer having annual

 

4


Compensation greater than one hundred thirty thousand dollars ($130,000) (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the Employer, or a 1-percent owner of the Employer having Annual Compensation of more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000). For this purpose, “Annual Compensation” means compensation within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code. The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

 

Top-Heavy Earnings. Top-Heavy Earnings means, for any year, compensation as defined under Section 414(q)(4) of the Code, up to a maximum of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000), adjusted in multiples of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for increases in the cost-of-living as prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code.

 

Determination of Account Values. The following subparagraphs (a) and (b) shall apply for purposes of determining the amounts of Account balances of Employees as of the Determination Date.

 

  (a) Distributions during year ending on the Determination Date. The amounts of Account balances of an Employee as of the Determination Date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the Employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “5-year period” for “ 1-year period.”

 

  (b) Employees not performing services during year ending on the Determination Date. The Accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the Employer during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date shall not be taken into account.

 

Minimum benefits

 

Company contributions. Employer company contributions, if any, shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Section 416(c)(2) of the Code and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to matching contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Employer company contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as company contributions for purposes of the Actual Contribution Percentage test and other requirements of Section 401 (m) of the Code.
